Where to stay in Pittville
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Pittville Park and the Pump Room set the choice here, and a bed on the park side puts the long gardens, the two lakes and the boat house within a few minutes' walk. Beyond the park, Pittville is housing. Cotswold Grange, Cheltenham stands on the same side of the suburb, and the British Steeplechasing Hall of Fame, Holst Victorian House and the Cheltenham Battlefield Crosses Museum give the district three visits that need no travel beyond Cheltenham.
Pittville rewards you if the park is the reason for the trip, with Cheltenham Minster, St Mary's a walk further in.
